How Can Your Business Benefit From Pinterest’s New Analytics Tool?
Last week Pinterest finally launched what many business users on the image-sharing network have been crying out for – its brand new web analytics.

Why all the excitement? Well up until now, Pinterest users have found it difficult to gain meaningful insights into how their audience was engaging with their content. Whilst you could check new followers, likes, repins and comments via the activity feed, unless you were using third-party solutions like the excellent Curalate, much of the tracking available within Pinterest involved guesswork and assumptions. Although they’re nowhere near the sophistication of Facebook Insights, Pinterest’s analytics are definitely a step in the right direction for bloggers, businesses and organizations wanting to find out what people are pinning from their websites.

(9) Twitter. How to Measure Success on Pinterest. One of the beautiful things about social media marketing is that its reach and reaction can be tracked.

In comparison to direct mailings or print magazine advertisements, a business can actually count the potential customers who lay eyes on their tag lines and read over their reactions immediately, as they happen — right from their office computer screens. With that said, it’s pointless to waste your payroll establishing a presence on a social media platform without accompanying your company efforts with a measurement plan.

This is especially important when exploring Pinterest, a relatively new — and particularly segmented — platform that can do wonders for a startup’s brand and bottom line. I asked a panel of successful young entrepreneurs the following question:
Pinterest Mega Fact Sheet & Hacks. By now, Pinterest should be on everyone’s mind, right?

With an astounding rise from an Alexa rank of over 100,000 to 43 in a little over one year, it shouldn’t have escaped anyone that Pinterest is sending a strong message that they are to be the next big thing in social media. The social site has been compared with Facebook, and the results lately have even exceeded that of Facebook in its early beginnings. So what is it with Pinterest that makes everyone so interested in using it?

Well, there are several things actually, and they are all becoming insanely addicting. All of this is due to something called a “pin.” I think one of the most appealing things about Pinterest is that after having used Facebook and Twitter for the last 3-5 years, we all know interaction is key to success.

A month ago now, I wrote about Pinterest asking if you have you signed up for Pinterest yet? - it seems to me that now the world and his wife has signed up! People love it! Today, the Mail Online, suggested that Pinterest which is one of the fastest growing sites with 12 Million unique visitors (just in the US) could have over 97% female users. Which I don’t believe, I’d say out of my 300 followers many more than half are male.

In fact when I open up my first page of followers you can see here yourself that they are almost ALL men. Pinterest is for girls? As I looked through the rest of my followers this was pretty much the case all the way through. Besides which, you will only see the pictures of those that you are following unless you go into explore and then you can search for things like DIY or Car or other maybe mainly subjects, so I don’t see the problem of Girly pictures being on Pinterest, as others have suggested.

Gentlemint is a mint of manly things.
The TheBestofBarnstaple Daily. Why I Don’t Mind Pinterest Hijacking My Links. Recently, Joel Garcia at GTO Management bought it to everyone’s attention that everyone’s new favorite social sharing site, Pinterest, is basically hijacking links to make money as an affiliate.

I highly recommend checking out Joel’s complete post, but here’s the main idea: When you “pin” something, unless you you the upload option to post your own picture, users can click on your pin to go to the original source. It’s a good system – it allows as much traffic as possible back to the site of interest, no matter who pins or repins.There’s this tool called SkimLinks that website owners can use that will basically look at an entire site and whenever a link could be an affiliate link, but isn’t, SkimLinks automatically makes it one.What Pinterest has done is installed SkimLinks so that anything pinned by any user that could be an affiliate link (but the user didn’t make one) will be made into one – using Pinterest’s ID. The company has to make money somehow, right? Take a look at the site.

No, my first stop won’t be the Food Network, Gourmet, or Cooking Light. What I am dying to do is head over to my new obsession -- Pinterest -- to discover the next pastry to tackle. Currently, I'm using Pinterest to save links to just about everything: recipes I love, clothes I want to buy, or furniture I want to furnish my house with someday.

As a 25-year-old graduate student, someday is a little farther off than I’d like, but it’s best to be prepared.
